6. Use the method of reduction of order to find a second linearly independent solution \( y_2 \):

(a) 
\[ x^2 y'' + xy' - 9y = 0; \, x > 0, \, y_1(x) = x^3. \]

(b) 
\[ 4y'' - 4y' + y = 0; \, y_1(x) = e^{x/2}. \]

Expert Solution
Part(a) Step 1

NOTE: Refresh your page if you can't see any equations.

.

x^2y''+xy'-9y=0

divide both sides by x2

y''+\frac{1}{x}y'-\frac{9}{x^2}y=0

compare this DE with y''+ p(x)y'+q(x)y=0

so here we have

p(x)=\frac{1}{x}

and the given solution is 

y_1=x^3
